It is time again for our monthly ASF board report. This month marks the last of the monthly reports required of new top level projects, so this activity will happen less frequently after this month.
Please provide your comments on the ticket[1], google doc[2] or reply to this email I plan to submit this to the board on July 10 Thanks, Andrew [1]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/10282 [2]: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lV-cFZGHCSrTiaLW1gyEMDKW-9nf47UW8xK19QCqbVk/edit ---- ## Description: The mission of Apache DataFusion is the creation and maintenance of software related to an extensible query engine ## Project Status: Current project status: New + Ongoing (high activity) Issues for the board: None ## Membership Data: Apache DataFusion was founded 2024-04-16 (3 months ago) There are currently 33 committers and 13 PMC members in this project.

We are also working with the community to make extending SQL planning[2] easier and extending file format support[3], as well as fixing bugs found with a SQL fuzzer[4], and improving performance with StringView[5] It has been nice to see several good examples of cross contributor/company collaboration such as [6] and [7]. We have also been making external presentations[1] [1]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/10969 [2]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/10534 [3]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/11060 [4]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/11030 [5]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/10918 [6]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/11203 [7]: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/10534 ### Sub project: DataFusion Python https://github.com/apache/datafusion-python TODO ### Sub project: DataFusion Comet https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet TODO ### Sub project: DataFusion Ballista https://github.com/apache/datafusion-ballista https://github.com/apache/datafusion-ballista-python The Ballista subproject is not currently actively maintained. ### Recent Releases * PYTHON-38.0.1 was released on 2024-05-30. * PYTHON-37.1.0 was released on 2024-05-13. * 38.0.0 was released on 2024-05-10. ## Community Health: Most of our communications still happen through github.
